Chapter 425 - 425: Why Are You Surprised?

Hearing Avery's word, Evan held Avery tight.

Evan said nothing. He was lost in thought.

Avery sneered, "Don't you think Rebecca let the spiders in?"

"It won't happen again."

Avery laughed. She stepped back and then stood up, walking to the front of the door and turning to Evan, "Mr. Howel is just like a coward bear."

Evan didn't reply. He stood up from the sofa and walked to the door.

Evan looked severe and calm.

Avery thought Evan would hide, but Evan opened the door.

When the door opened, Rebecca was surprised and widened her eyes, looking at Avery and Evan, "You…"

"Why are you so surprised? We were wife and husband. It happened obviously. It is normal. Moreover, we had a baby now. We had slept together," Avery said to Rebecca.

Avery was standing against the door and looked Rebecca up and down, "Princess, don't be sad. You are the wife of Evan. You should be generous. But the most important thing is to provoke Evan's desire for you."

Avery took a glance at Evan's pants and smiled meaningfully, "Desire."

These words made Rebecca and Evan silent.

Pang—

Avery quickly closed the door.

Rebecca now regained her consciousness and hurriedly followed by Evan, who was walking back to his bedroom with big steps.

However, just like Avery, Evan closed the door before Rebecca went into the room.

Rebecca stopped before the door and knocked on the door, "Evan? Evan, are you angry? I had not done that kind of thing. Trust me!"

Evan's voice can be heard through the door. He said coldly, "Rebecca. Do you think everyone is stupid?"

Rebecca was shocked all of a sudden. When she heard what Evan said, she was extremely anxious and knew she made a grave mistake because of Avery.

Evan did care about Avery.

Rebecca was furious at Avery now.

Evan then walked to the wine cabinet in his room, got a bottle of whiskey, and then drank it directly.

Recalling what Avery said, Evan knew Avery had changed. She changed her attitude to Andrew Clifford. She used to hate him, but now she started to like him and regarded him as a good man. Moreover, Avery saved Andrew at the cost of her own life. Avery and Andrew became more and more intimate.

"Shit! How could she love Mr. Clifford? How could? I don't allow her to love him!" Evan said to himself.

For a while, Avery wakes up because of the sound of the gun.

Avery sat up from her bed.

Avery looked around, finding there was nothing unusual in her room. Just the window curtains were blown up.

"So, what happened. I heard the sound of the gun. Do I make a mistake? Or I had a dream?" Avery asked herself.

It was cold. Now it was 7 o'clock. Avery had just slept for a few hours.

She was stepping on the carpet barefoot. Her big toe was still bandaged. Avery began to meditate. Then, she wore her shoes because she was afraid that there were fragments of the vase.

Avery walked beside the window and looked outside from there.

It was cloudy as if it was going to rain.

She was bending over the window and recalling the horrible dream. Thinking of the dream, Avery was in a cold sweat.

Since many bad things happened yesterday, Avery was frightened and had a horrible dream:

She dreamed that she was being chased and someone wanted to kill her. Therefore, Avery tried to run away, but she couldn't get away from the man still. In the dream, Avery stepped on the concrete road barefoot, and now she could even recall the feeling. The tiny sand pressed her feet, and something tripped her down.

The man kept chasing Avery and shooting her. When Avery turned back, many bullets were flying toward her.

When Avery thought she would be killed by the bullets, a tall and strong man passed by and saved her. But Avery couldn't see the man. She was not sure whether it was Evan or Andrew. 

"Ah--" the man shouted. Now Avery found the man was Evan Howel.

It was over. Therefore, Avery seemed to hear the sound of a gun.

When Avery calmed down, she took a deep breath. She smelled the fragrance of water, the earth, and rose.

Suddenly—

Peng—

The sound of a gun.

When it sounded, the pigeons and birds were frightened and flew away from the tree to a higher place.

Avery now knew it wasn't a dream. It is a fact!

Avery became anxious and looked pale.

Avery immediately rushed out of the room.

When she just walked a few steps, she saw Jamie Winter was walking out of the room with Andrew.

Jamie just heard the sound of a gun. When he found Avery was here, Andrew became relaxed and asked her, "What happened?"

"Are you awake?" Avery asked. Then she frowned, "You shouldn't go out. You should be careful."

"I heard the sound. I thought something happened."

"Jamie, help Mr. Clifford walk back to his room. I will check what happened."

"Who do you think you are? You have not to check it out. Hello! Hello," Avery ignored Andrew's words. Andrew just shouted at her. He couldn't chase her.

Andrew patted his thigh out of frustration. But his wound was there. He cried out and shoved Jamie off.

"Follow Avery to see what's going on."

Although he was limped, it didn't mean he had to sit back and do nothing.

Jamie got the order and staggered with two walking sticks.

Avery walked fast. She noticed the gunshots came from the bell tower. So she went downstairs and walked there.

In the far distance, the pigeons flew in different directions out of shock. A man stood in the middle of the lawn with his back at Avery. The figure was the same as in her dream.

In front of him was another man with a silver pistol.

Avery ran into this by pure chance. She turned pale right away. She didn't know what to do.
